Orienteering race (ECU Navdash) 15:57 [3] 2.28 km (7:00 / km) +27m 6:36 / km
ahr:164 max:177 shoes: ASICS GEL - Nimbus 17
EOD course - wasnt the longest which I discovered at the end - a little bit disappointed in that but I guess thats EOD.
I was 50/50 as to come out today or not and that alone would have tipped it over the line - wish I had listened to myself and not come though as course was short straight line and reasonably boring and in my want to go fast pinged my left calf again lower than the last time more mid to lower calf - but really meant i hobble over half the course which wasnt enjoyable - shouldve just rested.
the 1hr of driving wasnt worth the 2km shuffle.
Back to icing and compressing and recovering this stupid left leg that seems to be forever falling apart.
oh and gps went to sleep as I started so dont know how accurate it is.

Running (Long Night Run) 1:46:58 [3] 12.68 km (8:26 / km) +181m 7:52 / km
ahr:153 max:179 shoes: ASICS GEL - Nimbus 17
Knee was feeling loads better even though lots of bruising - most/all loading pains is gone and inner thigh back to normal. outside calf/shin still not right but meh started easy to see how it felt and it was ok.
Met Will near perry lakes and headed down towards bold park - quick nip in to grab some squares and then back to road and around to southern bold park where we had attempt #2 at clearing it. Started to rain on this section but once we hit the bush didnt notice it/it stopped.
In at an angle and then due south... only due south when I am navigating without a compass in cloud cover with no visual reference was south east. I think we will end up with 1 of the 3 we wanted but the 2 we missed whilst be elusive little buggers should be easy enough to hit from another angle.
Out via the gold course where Will collected the largest spider I have seen in a while and freaked out (rightly so) as it climbed within an inch of his face hanging off his glasses.Got that sorted out and continued on our way. Was going to run south with Will be decided to take us to train line and split east of swanbourne so we both had quick legs home.
Felt good until about 1km to go when I started to feel some soreness. Knee held up well but left calf ever since the tear has been giving me some grief. just feels tight and sore - often. Stretched and compressed when i got home but still a tad sore today.
Shins feeling good and generally feeling alright after the long session.

Orienteering (Malmalling NE) 1:19:46 [3] 6.18 km (12:54 / km) +182m 11:15 / km
ahr:154 max:178 shoes: Salomon XA Pro 3d M+
So managed to miss the rain which was good - went off just before Dave who opted to do his first solo H1.
Was my first time solo in the bush this year (i think) and wanted a good clean race. didnt quite get it but had a decent attempt.
1) was short on distance to start but corrected pretty quickly using granite and cliff.
2) Pretty good - led someone onto it.
3) Spot on it
4) Had read description for wrong control and drifted right on way over. lost time searching here. Andrew martin point me in the right direction as I start to head up that way.
5) Drifted right again and lost a tiny bit of time here but generally pretty good.
6) Again drifting right but found it ok.
7) Spot on
8) pretty much spot on it with a bit of hesitation along the way.
9) Drifted badly right hit the gully with the cliff and rocks 150m west and corrected still drifted right of control from there - but saw flag and decided that must be 10 and went searching south then thought - better check that control... oh it was mine SIGH.
10) didnt take a bearing just ran off in north direction. got within 20m then started doing a weird grid search got in with (an older chap).
11) drifted right not too badly over the rocky knoll to the scattered clearing and down onto the control - gave it away to the older chap who had overshot it trying to go north of the knoll.
12) fast around north side and helped a young guy onto the control whow as lost clearly in the wrong location.
13) spot on
14) hocked around the knoll and onto the point spot on.
15) what a shocking leg. went north and played in bolder clusters eventually older chap caught up and came up further to my left as I was starting to correct. this was frustrating.
16) Old chap threw me punching somehting halfway to 16 which I knew wasnt mine. I then went to overshoot 16 to my left. missing it by 20m.
17) around the front of the boulders and back up to the SFG. which I ended up finding jsut fine.
18) Spot on
19) Enjoyed this leg used the rocks next to the green patch to bounce off adjusted to hit the scattered open then sharp right onto the point.
20) Easy leg onto boulders. Old chap was 30-40m infront of me on finish leg.
Fin) opened up the tank wanted to take the old chap - he heard me 10m from him and lifted his game, so I went to near full sprint and burnt past - eased into the fallen tree just before the road but then misjudged the drop to the road and face planted at speed - bounced twice and stopped at the foot of the punch so just reach up and finished. beat the old chap. He then proceeded to give me tips on how not to get lost and how to orienteering - which was nice but not required considering I had clearly covered more ground than him and knew what I was doing.... I might need to get a club shirt I think wearing the grey shirt throws some of the older ppl. BTW not suggesting I dont need tips or tricks but this was given in a you clearly have no idea what your doing type fashion - because apparently I was completely lost when he came upon me. HA.
Post mortem - beat ricky in my jogging mode so he must have over cooked his recovery run.
My knee is quite sore now particularly when squatting down. I think I will need to ice it as it has swollen a tiny bit around the grazing.
Ripped my brand new pants damn it - only worn them like 3 times. silver lining the left leg on my old pants wasnt ripped up so could substitute them in and looks good as new again - even if its a tad thinned from being used.
Generally happy with the session out. Apologies to andre who came over to chat and we bailed because it started to spit rain and I was cold!
Dave did well and will come back again - so going solo didnt kill him. but he did a lot more distance. if he becomes accurate he might be a contender.
edit - lower back on left sore after fall today too. not good.

Note
Quickly starting to think the left leg may have copped a bit more damage than I thought - pains on inner left thigh now and outside of shin/calf. Knee pretty tender lower than the knee cap with some swelling and bruising evident. left lower back feeling sore. I must have been twisting when I hit the ground. Either way tonights sleep could be interesting.
